Drow Elves are much like other elves but sport skin tones of dark blue all the way to ash gray. Otherwise Drow Elves are considered to be a variant of the Eladrin subspecies with a proclivity for darkness.
Drow names are very heavy in consonants such as Drizzt or Klkkir.
Other than their elvish heritage, they have affinity with darkness and draw power from being in dim light. They typically have grayish or bluish skin and black or white hair. Many Drow have natural markings that resemble tattoos across their faces and bodies.
Drow Elves are native to the Feywild and primarily reside in the land of Krinnica, referring to themselves as Krinth.
Perfection in physical form, as they like to say, the High Elves are what one imagines when they are told to imagine an ideal example of an elf. They typically carry a similar amount of self-righteousness.
High Elves use names that roll off the tongue such as Haldir, or Eolain.
High Elves stand between six and seven feet tall, with long hair and slender, graceful bodies. Their eyes are narrow and their facial features are quite sharp. They have the shortest ears of the elven subspecies.
High Elves command control of most of the Valley of Colors, but many have mingled into other societies.
Slender elves with an affinity for nature, often mistaken for some sort of Fey spirit. They wander the forests of Erendia and typically keep to themselves.
Wood Elves have similar naming schemes to High Elves, but they prefer longer, harder to pronounce names like 'Celebrimbor' or 'Allessandri'.
They're a bit shorter than high elves, standing between five and seven feet tall. They have rougher skin but retain the sharp elven facial features and have much more lithe bodies. Many wood elves have markings that look like tree branches on their faces or bodies. Their ears extend slightly longer than high elves as well.
Wood Elves are native to the Valley of Colors, but have spread to small villages within the forests across Erendia as well as intermingling with the other societies on the way. Typically wood elves are much more reclusive than their cousins.
Eladrin are elves, but vary greatly in appearance depending on their affinity. They typically classify into forms that mimic the four seasons of the Material Plane, though most of them live in the Feywild.
Eladrin tend to have names that are two parts, such as Len Korath or Cer Pruna.
Longer ears, taller, and more graceful than even the High Elves, the Eladrin are considered the closest to the Resonance among elf-kind. They typically have chaotic thought processes and because of this they struggle to function outside the norm of the Feywild, as societies we know typically have far too rigid legal structures for their antics. All Eladrin take on traits that match their subtype. For example a Summer Eladrin might have golden skin and eyes that glow white, while a Spring Eladrin may have green skin and sprout small leaves and flowers from their body.
Eladrin keep mostly to the Feywild, but the very VERY few that stay in elvish society hold places of honor among the High Elven civilization in the Valley of Colors. No Eladrin have ever stepped foot outside the Valley of Colors, unless they visited on accident from the Feywild.
